This booklet comes from the Majjhima Nikaya MN-36, the Mahasaccaka
Sutta, The Greater Discourse to Saccaka, given by the Buddha and is
taken from the translation by Bhikkhu Nanamoli and Bhikkhu Bodhi.
This particular sutta is very important because it tells us about
many of the austerities and practices the Bodhisatta did in order
to finally attain the supreme achievement of his life - Nibbana. He
first began practicing meditation with two of the most advanced
teacher of his time. He was very successful with both teachers but
was not satisfied because although these practices did give good
results, they didn't lead to getting off of the "wheel of samsara."
The only kinds of meditation practices that were known at that time
involved one-pointed absorption concentration. This type of
practice has very deep concentration and leads the meditator to
some profoundly wonderful states of mind. But after having direct
knowledge of them, he saw that these types of meditation had some
limitations in them and didn't lead to final liberation. So, the
Bodhisatta went off to search for a method of meditation that not
only has deep concentration (samatha), but simultaneously developed
insight (vipassana) as well. This booklet explains how he tried
many different practices, from holding his breath to starving his
body, until he finally found the way that leads directly to the
attainment of Nibbana.
A practical guide to the "Emancipation Proclamation" of the
Anapanasati Sutta and Loving-Kindness Meditation. A new look at the
practice of Mindfulness as it is really taught only from the sutta
texts of the Majjhima Nikaya. He found a step in the practice that
has been left out of current day practices. Bhante Vimalaramsi went
to a cave and spent three months, with a cobra for company, and
studied the texts and then practiced it in the way it stated.
Amazing and very different results arose for him. After his 20
years of Vipassana Buddhist Meditation he was surprised to find a
completely different outcome. Awakening was real.
Una Guia Practica Para la conciencia de la Meditacion de la
Respiracion y Sabiduria Tranquila basado en las ensenanzas reales
